foo2zjs is an open source printer driver for printers that use the Zenographics
|
||
|
|
ZjStream wire protocol for their print data, such as the Minolta/QMS magicolor
|
||
|
|
2300 DL or Konica Minolta magicolor 2430 DL. These printers are often
|
||
|
|
erroneously referred to as winprinters or GDI printers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, Microsoft GDI only mandates the API between an application and the
|
||
|
|
printer driver, not the protocol on the wire between the printer driver and the
|
||
|
|
printer. In fact, ZjStream printers are raster printers which happen to use a
|
||
|
|
very efficient wire protocol which was developed by Zenographics and licensed
|
||
|
|
by most major printer manufacturers for at least some of their product lines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ZjStream is just one of many wire protocols that are in use today, such as
|
||
|
|
Postscript, PCL, Epson, etc.
